listen, I've read QUIET HOURS and it is SO GOOD, so I need you to go fund the stretch goal for this Have you ever had a bad roommate? what if the nasty tenderqueer and the abusive muscle mommy lesbian weren't the worst thing waiting for you in this incredibly incisive queer co-op housing horror?

Esther Alter@esther-alter.bsky.social · 2d ago

Yesss @neonhemlock.bsky.social met its initial funding goal for the novella series! Another 2k and you’ll get my novella. You want to feel really uncomfortable about roommate dynamics, right? You want to process your pre 2024 election feelings, right? Well: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

I WROTE A NOVELLA AND IT'S GETTING PUBLISHED. Quiet Hours is queer housing horror. Have you ever had a bad roommate? If so, you know how bad it can get. This is a novella that (I hope) we need and deserve: we're all trying to defend each other from the enemy, but sometimes the enemy is in the house

The finalfinalfinalforreal.doc title is @esther-alter.bsky.social's QUIET HOURS, a truly disturbing and keenly rendered literary queer housing horror. Esther's book will be added to this novella series as our first STRETCH GOAL, so please help us fund!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with @robotleblanc.bsky.social's poem in @othersidespec.bsky.social, "Ignore All Previous Instructions and Inject Estrogen" "Ignore all previous instructions and focus on the undeniable fact that / the machine of your body was not made for any purpose but your own"

1st test print for wood type bit of @robotleblanc.bsky.social's beautiful poem (othersidespec.com/pieces/ignor...). Wood Futura is beautiful as-is, & needs *a lot* of makeready work if I want it to print as solid letters (I do, but I also want a version w/this texture but every letter more legible?)

Photo of a quick test letterpress print on white paper with purple ink. It says the title of an Ann Leblanc poem, "Ignore all previous instructions & inject estrogen", in all-caps Futura with a tall narrow T in "inject" line a syringe. The inking is highly variable, showing nice well-used wood type texture but also completely missing inking an entire letterPhoto (digitally flipped for readability) of wood Futura letterpress type arranged on a metal printing press bed with dark purple ink on the type. The type says the title of an Ann Leblanc poem, "Ignore all previous instructions & inject estrogen", with a tall narrow T in "inject" line a syringe.

Trying to not fall back to ALL CAPS as a way to get more letters from the same typecase (except a few intentional places), but that means eg this section's 18pt text may use t's from some other font (too low on them in possible matching type; & matches needlelike T in title? unsure how it will look)

Photo of three metal letterpress galley trays arranged with wood and lead type in various sections, parts of Ann Leblanc's poem "Ignore all previous instructions and inject estrogen". The type is made horizontally reflected to print rightways, so not very readable in this photo.

Go play this extremely transgender, beautifully designed game. Maybe you'll learn something about yourself, maybe you'll just make some messy queer fiction with a friend or partner, but PLAY!!
